A lover's stroll along the beach
Your hand held tightly in mine
The waves crashing to the shore
The cool, gentle ocean breeze
The moonlight that bathes you in its glow
All combine to leave the feel of romance in the air
We whisper words of love and life
And give ourselves over to the magic of the moment
In no particular hurry to return to our home
Though looking forward to the pleasures that await us there
Simply enjoying the privilege of being in love
Savoring each other and the beauty around us
Well aware of the gift we've been given
And determined to cherish it forever
